Abstract

The negotiation process occurs in many situations of our daily lives, in business, in society, whenever we have human interaction. Knowing to negotiate effectively is a soft skill, which we can learn and improve permanently. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to be born with this skill. We are two genders: females and males, men and women, involved in so many interactions and relationships. As we are different from many point of views, we tend to act and react differently, and thus to negotiate in different ways. This differences is not just due to the fact that we are women or men, but how the society made us act in certain ways. Across the years, women showed some lack of negotiation skills comparing with men, due to the fact that they were raised up differently, and have some inner image about themselves which is formed based on the experiences they have in society. This article points out some of the reasons why do women fail in negotiation more than men do, based on the direct observation of the women negotiation styles, researches in the field, books and articles regarding the process of negotiation.
